'Thats sounds...fasinating!...'
The Play was Awesome!!!! Ok obviously the entire day was great with all those cool people. But. But, the play was the highlight. The heat of course was unbearable. But we managed backstage with a couple fans. Okay, so if you were not there than you obviously won't find anything amusing about this post till you get the story behind it. So thats what I'm starting now. We got there ('there' as in the theatre) at 9 o'clock. Bright and early. Yargh. Too early to be socializing. Let alone actually acting. lol. Anyways the morning was a blur of costume checks, the finishing touches on the set and the back stage prep. Lunch was....amusing.....first there was the regular chair stealing routine. Then came the food, chat, and laughs. gosh! lol. I think I have the best little group of friends there ever! Well namely the closest four in 'my' group. Keith, Kathleen(KD), Kathleen and Me. So as usual Keith was trying to get food off ppl. Namely my sister. Telling her that her apple juice smelled good and that not sharing chips would be unfair. When at one point he was trying to convince Kathleen(L) that due to his good looks he should get the food he says "I'm just going to stand here and be handsome and convince you that I should get the chips." Well that was pretty funny considering what Keith said and did his cool like stance shift. So KD starts laughing really hard. to the point she could barely breathe and was half hiccuping/half gasping so she had to leave and go and try to stop laughing but a bunch of ppl thought she was crying and that was even funnier so was laughin twice as hard! KD and I finally went back and by that time Kathleen and Keith were having their own conversation, so KD and I started our own and we were laughing and K2 wanted to know what we were talking about. (We are quite the laughable-affable bunch.) Then we were eating some more since Keith had effectivly stolen KD's seat went she went off to laugh and was now beside Kathleen stealing chips and the 'good smelling' apple juice. Kathleen soon announced she had brought strawpple sauce-she wasn't even in on that joke-lol and then i found out that i had peach-apple sauce and KD soon informed us all that it was now people(sry thats peapple sauce) sauce....BIG joke...'its sorta like you had to be there...' anyways then came some run throughs (of the entire play) those were crazy fun! Though it was emensly hot back stage....Ryan and Mike that wasn't needed....=/ anyways we got through it a couple times practicing all the little details encluding projection.......then we had to go downstairs and get make up on and eat dinner....I ended up eating dinner and not getting make up done till like last minute. Then we had to figure out what to do with my hair that would a)look good b) hide the frizz c)get together quickly considering the play was due to start in like 10 minutes. I ended up with some awesome side braid. I don't even know, I never knew what my hair was done in. lol. Anyways so the whole cast and a few of the crew got to stand in the stifling hot backstage, while my mom stood out on the stage and intro-ed the play. Yes Keith I really did mean all I said in those last 2 seconds before the play started. During the first scene I was shocked at the audience participation. But it help most greatly. so after our awesome play which I messed up with my wrong entrances and exits and watnot. Anyways after bows we were like running down the stairs and when we got down there we were like dancing around going crazy, hug fest!! Haha **high five** Keith that was some awesome pilot hug spin move.lol! Anyways than we hung out at dairy queen and got stamped. You had to be there to know. And I almost got the stamper....yarg! The cheering was quite helpful Jen. lol. The second performance went muchly the same but we did this flowers thingfor our totally awesome directors. Sorry not really 'we' but Kathleen D. and Brittni. that was great guys! Than we did our whole jumping around thing again. and then well us Lairds had to leave so we could go to Marineland the next day. Bright and early. Yargh. So we missed the party at wendys but I needed my sleep! lol. And I will report on the party on my next post cuz this is getting rather lengthy since its been in drafts for a while and I have to go through the whole thing for grammer/spelling check.
